Chapter 294

After the beginning of spring, the two brigades in the east and west of the village began to prepare for spring irrigation. Now all the irrigation canals in the village are directly drawn from the reservoir, and there is no need for water trucks to divert water from the river. In the fields, it is also necessary to pump water upwards by using rollovers and weir ponds.

Although it was only seven or seven years ago, the difference from the original drama is that Maixiang Village's work-point model is still the one that Wang Zhong, Ma Renli, Niu Daudao and others figured out six or six years ago. Except for the insured households, the rest of the people do not have a guaranteed centimeter. If they want food and food, they can only work hard by themselves.

In the ten years from [-] to [-], although the policies of the higher authorities were constantly changing, but with Wang Zhong as the party secretary, Niu Bold as the bold and courageous, and Ma Renli as the dog-headed military advisor, the members of the Maixiang Brigade Barely able to eat enough, but lack of oil and meat, can't save money, and have nothing to do with life.

Just after the first round of spring irrigation was over, Niu Daudao led a dozen young and strong men eagerly to go fishing in the river.

Within a few days, it attracted the attention of the commune. Wang Wanchun and the Minister of Armed Forces Guan Yuanchao led people to block Niu Bold and his party by the side of the reservoir.

"Niu Bold, what's in the bucket?" Wang Wanchun asked straight to the point.

"Fish!" Niu boldly replied directly.

"Where did the fish come from?"

"Of course it was shot up from the river!"

"Niu Bold, you are stealing state property and breaking the law."

"Secretary Wang, although you are the secretary of the commune, you can't slander people out of thin air. We catch these fish and put them back in the fish ponds on the brigade. The fish ponds in our brigade are collective. We watch These fish grow slowly in the river, and then they are brought up and put in the collective fish pond. We feed them again, and the fish grows fast. We didn’t resell them for profit. How can we say yes? Stealing state property."

"Besides, Secretary Wang, there is no law that stipulates that our brigade collectively cannot fish from the river, right?"

"This..." Wang Wanchun was dumbfounded by Niu Bold's sharp words, and he didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't help but look at Guan Yuanchao next to him: "It seems that there is no regulation, Minister Guan, what do you think?"

"I..." Before Guan Yuanchao said anything, Niu boldly answered again: "Secretary Wang, if you think it's not good, then we will stop fishing in the future, so as not to embarrass you, what do you think? "

Seeing that Niu Bold, who used to know nothing but rampage in the past, actually played tricks, Wang Wanchun was very surprised, and immediately thought of someone, and immediately said to Guan Yuanchao next to him: "Minister Guan, what Captain Niu said is also reasonable. , They didn’t sell these fish privately for profit, so it’s not illegal, right?”

Guan Yuanchao subconsciously nodded and said, "It seems that it doesn't count."

"Secretary Wang, Minister Guan, in fact, our fishing is also for your consideration!" Niu boldly said.

"For us?" Wang Wanchun and Minister Guan looked at each other, and they both looked at Niu Bold: "I want to hear how you think about us?"

Niu boldly said: "Think about it, let's take this fish back and put it in the fish pond. Later, Secretary Zhang will bring the working group down to inspect the work, investigate and so on. When we entertain Secretary Zhang and the others, we can directly Take the fish from the fish pond and make it into a dish!"

·······
Niu Daudao said that, if Wang Wanchun and Guan Yuanchao still stop him, then they are being unreasonable.

"Secretary Wang, are we really going to let this go?" Guan Yuanchao leaned over to Wang Wanchun and asked in a low voice, watching Niu Boldly leading the people away.

Wang Wanchun said: "What can we do if we don't count? They didn't resell them privately. As long as they didn't break the law, we have no reason to stop them."

Although Wang Wanchun is not responsible enough, he has a good heart. If he can turn a blind eye and close one eye within his ability to make the lives of ordinary people more comfortable, he will usually choose to turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Niu Bold and his men hunted fish for ten days, and threw almost ten thousand of them into the fish pond, so they gave up.

But Niu Bold and others gave up, and the villagers in the West Club of the village, under the leadership of Ma Renli, quietly started the business of fishing and selling fish.

How can this kind of thing be hidden from others? Seeing Ma Renli and the others making money, he immediately stabbed the matter to the commune with jealousy. Fortunately, Zhang Defu hasn't been stabbed in front of the county.

It was already May when Ma Renli was led back to the Maixiang Brigade by Wang Zhong. Seeing that the summer harvest was approaching, all the villagers were full of energy and did not sleep with their wives in their arms at night. For fear of wasting energy, I have no strength to go to the ground.

Only Ma Renli, dejected as if he had lost his soul, stayed at home all day and never even went out.

Even the golden wheat all over the mountains and plains could not attract Ma Renli anymore.

But the other team members in the village were full of energy. They rolled up their trousers, rolled up their sleeves, put on their straw hats, and buried their heads in the wheat field with a sickle.

After the wheat was harvested, the team members watched the newly planted wheat arrive in their hands, and after collecting the wheat into their own warehouses, the team members did not dare to be idle, and immediately plowed and fertilized, preparing to plant corn, peanuts and soybeans.

Although peanuts and soybeans have not been grown for ten years, the craftsmanship of the folks has not fallen behind, and the corn seedlings have been cultivated in advance.

Corn, soybeans, and peanuts are intercropped. In just over a month, the mountains and plains are full of emerald green. The sweet potato vines in the mountains are growing more and more gratifyingly, and the dozen or so pigs in the pigsty are also growing quite well.

Taking advantage of the slack time of the farm, Wang Zhong also led the people to clean up the oil-pressing workshop that had been idle for ten years, repairing what should be repaired, and replacing what should be replaced.

In September and October [-]th, the State Council officially announced the decision to resume the college entrance examination, and each province successively announced the specific time for the college entrance examination.

The three brothers and sisters of the old Wang family studied harder and harder.

Even Wang Zijin, who was the most naughty and mischievous in the past, also followed her two elder brothers to study and review all day long, preparing for the college entrance examination.

At the same time, the autumn harvest and autumn sowing also came quietly without knowing it. After the autumn sowing, Niu Daring immediately took the village young and strong to steam and squeeze the harvested corn and peanuts.

Under the guidance of Wang Zhong in the past, Niu Bold and others, who have gradually turned from jerky to proficient, are now masters in the oil extraction workshop, and Niu Boldness even took the position of the head of the oil workshop on their shoulders superior.

Under the premise of the team-based three-level system, the life of the village east and village west production teams of the Maixiang brigade has gradually improved.

As more and more oil was produced from the oil workshop, Wang Zhong led Ma Renli to start the process of visiting the nearby brigade.

Jixian brigade.

"Captain Han, we Ming people don't talk dark words. Captain Ma and I came here this time to exchange the oil from our oil workshop for your wheat and corn." After exchanging greetings with the person in charge of Jixian Brigade, Wang Zhong said his intention.

"Look, your Jixian brigade has food and oil, and our Maixiang brigade has oil but is short of food. We exchange food with each other for cooking oil, just for the necessities that our team members need in life. That's all, and neither of us profited from it, neither of us violated the law, even if the commune knew about it, it wouldn't be able to find fault with us."

"That's the reason, but what if the county secretary Zhang blames it?" Captain Han of the Jixian brigade hesitated.

"Captain Han, even Secretary Zhang must act in accordance with the law. As long as we don't violate the law, Secretary Zhang is not an ignorant person. How could he blame us for these things?"

"Besides, we are all thinking about the team members. Let's not talk about anything else, just say that the dolls on our team are all yellow and thin, and they yell all day long that they can't eat enough! What is that because of their stomachs? There is no oil or water in it because there is no food at home."

"Secretary Wang, can this work?" Captain Han looked at Wang Zhong, his face moved a little, but his eyes were full of worry.

"Why not." Wang Zhong said with a smile: "You can call the team members to sit down and have a meeting together. If you want to change the oil, whether you use wheat or corn, you can ask the accountant of your brigade to make statistics first. Get up, collect everything, put it into the account of the brigade, and in the name of the brigade, come to our brigade to change the oil."

"If the higher-ups are really investigated because of this matter, you will put the responsibility on me and say that you were deceived by my rhetoric. It happens that the folks also have this demand. After you discuss it with the folks, that's why decision made."

"Captain Han, think about it, oil from supply and marketing cooperatives is so expensive, how many of us ordinary people can afford it, and if we can't afford oil from supply and marketing cooperatives, can't we squeeze it ourselves?"

After some good words, Captain Han was finally persuaded, but this matter cannot be decided by him alone, it has to be discussed in a meeting.

Wang Zhong didn't mind, and led Ma Renli to the brigade to the left. Within a few days, eight of the more than a dozen brigades around agreed to Wang Zhong's proposal.

The oil squeezed from the oil mill, each household only receives ten catties, and the rest is exchanged for wheat and corn. No brigade buys oil with money. In the countryside, money is more expensive than grain and other things. .

Naturally, such a big movement cannot be concealed from the commune, but just like what Niu boldly blocked Wang Wanchun's words last time, there was no reselling for profit, it was just some barter exchange, and no money was involved, Wang Wanchun naturally would not look for trouble , Make trouble for yourself.

It's December [-]th, and it's the first time since [-] that the college entrance examination will be resumed.

Ziping and Zi'an, who are 24 years old this year, and Zijin, who is [-] years old, have signed up for the college entrance examination.

Brothers Ziping and Zi'an both applied for science subjects, while their younger sister, Wang Zijin, applied for arts subjects.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Jiang Hongguo dragged Wang Zhong out of bed, Jiang Hongguo rolled noodles, and Wang Zhong made fried sauce with pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, day lily and other side dishes.

"It smells so good!" The brothers Ziping and Zi'an got up early, and soon after there was movement in the main room, the two brothers packed up and came out.

"Go exercise your muscles and bones!"

Not long after, Zijin and Maima who were sleeping in the east wing also woke up.

Wang Zijin was wearing a red padded jacket, a big red woolen hat woven by her mother Jiang Hongguo on her head, two ear pads to protect her ears, a big red scarf around her neck, and two long braids hanging down her chest Before, even the padded jacket on his body was red.

"It smells so good, mother, what are you having for breakfast?" Wang Zijin dragged her younger sister into the main room expectantly.

Seeing his daughter's red body, Wang Zhong, who was lighting a fire by the stove, smiled unkindly.

"Not bad, not bad, just looking at it makes me happy!" Wang Zhong said, "Those who don't know think it's a bride getting married."

"Father!" Wang Zijin stomped her feet and pouted immediately, as if I was angry.

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense!" Jiang Hongguo glared at Wang Zhong, and comforted her daughter, "What does he know as an old man? Girls need to dress brightly to look good. My daughter looks beautiful in this outfit."

Maimai tugged at Wang Zijin's sleeve: "Sister, when you come back from the exam, can you lend me your hat and scarf?"

"No problem!" Hearing what his mother and sister said, a smile appeared on Wang Zijin's face, and then she made a funny face at Wang Zhong.

"The meal is ready, go in and sit down." Jiang Hongguo took the noodles out of the pot, rinsed them with cold water, and brought them to the kang table. Wang Ziping and Wang Zi'an were also called in from outside.

"It smells so good!" Maima swallowed as she smelled the delicious fried sauce.

"Your father made it himself, can it not be delicious!"

Wang Zhong also walked in with his hands behind his back: "Hurry up and eat, and then check the admission ticket and the things you should bring, so that you can gather at the entrance of the village and set off in half an hour."

"We're all grown-ups. I won't send you off with your mother and your wheat sprouts. Take the exam well. You all have studied for so long in advance, and your foundation is not bad. You can just go by yourself."

"Let them go by themselves?" Before the three brothers and sisters said anything, Jiang Hongguo couldn't sit still: "This is the college entrance examination. You, a father, really don't want to give it away?"

"It's just the college entrance examination. What's there to give away? If they are solid in their studies, I can pass the exam if I don't go. If the foundation is not solid and the knowledge points are not understood thoroughly, even if I go, I probably won't be able to." Wang Zhong said very calmly.

"Mother, it's okay, what Dad said is right, we are all grown-ups, and we're not children, so we don't need to give it away." Wang Ziping said with a smile.

"Yes!" Zian followed suit: "Mom, if you and dad send us off in such a cold day outside, we won't have to miss you in the examination room, so you can stay at home with dad until we come back from the exam." That's it."

Wang Zijin: "..."

Under the persuasion of the three brothers and sisters, Jiang Hongguo and Maimai both stayed at home. It was freezing outside, wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and sit on the warm kang?

At the entrance of the village, Ma Renli, Niu Bold and Lao Ganbang looked at the three brothers and sisters, and were a little surprised: "Why are you the only three? Ziping, where is your father?"

"My father won't go!" Ziping said with a smile.

"Zijin! Come up quickly!" In the pocket of the tractor, Niu Wenwen, the old man's daughter, stretched out her hand happily to Wang Zijin.

Wang Zijin also had a smile on her face, grabbed Niu Wenwen's hand, and jumped onto the cart: "Sister Wenwen!"

"Zijin, where are your parents?" In the pocket of the car, Niu Wenwen pulled Wang Zijin to the innermost side and sat down next to her mother, Han Chunmei, on a wooden plank across the carriage.

"Auntie, Sister Wenwen, don't you know that my father actually said that we are all adults now, the college entrance examination is our own business, not his, let us go by ourselves." Wang Zijin and Han Chunmei mother and daughter fell Bitter water.

"Chi Chi Chi!" Han Chunmei covered her mouth and chuckled, "That sounds like what your father said."

The tractor was hired by several families from the commune, but they set off long before the exam because they were afraid of delaying the exam.

The three brothers and sisters of the Wang family arrived, and they started completely. Although the dirt road has been compacted, it has been subjected to years of wind and rain, and the vehicles have been rolled back and forth. I have long been used to the bumpy tractor, and I talked and laughed along the way.

Maixiang brigade, the east head of the village, Old Wang's house.

"Father, aren't you worried about big brother and them?" Mai Ya held medical skills in his hand, but couldn't see from left to right, thinking about going out with his brothers and sisters early in the morning.

Wang Zhong said calmly, "There is nothing to worry about."

"When we are doctors, the most important thing is our character. No matter what happens, we must not lose our composure. Whenever there is a big event, we need to be calm."

"Father! I can't read books!" Mai Ya put down the book in his hand, walked to Wang Zhong's side, and coquettishly said while holding Wang Zhong's arm.

"You!" Wang Zhong shook his head, stretched out his index finger and gently retreated between the forehead of Maimai.

"Why don't dad take you into the mountains to catch pheasants?"

"Catch pheasant?" Maimai's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay!"

"What kind of pheasant is caught? It's a no-brainer when you think about it. It's freezing cold, and the wheat germ is not you, just like a bull. Don't freeze our malt." Jiang Hongguo said angrily.

"Children, you've become a nerd by sitting at home reading every day!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "Don't listen to your mother, dad will take you there!"

"Clean up, I'll get the equipment!" This was said to Jiang Hongguo.

Although Jiang Hongguo said that she was not happy, she still helped her daughter put on a wolf fur coat, put on a scarf, put on leather boots, put on leather gloves, a hat, and tied the leggings tightly, prepared two pots of water, and There is jerky.

When the father and daughter went out, there was already a short knife with a sheath around Maimai's waist. Look at the pattern on the handle and the scabbard, which was quite old. The ears and part of the cheeks are covered, leaving only the mouth, nose and eyes exposed.

Maimai's beautiful big eyes were full of curiosity, and her whole body was full of strength.

"If you can't walk anymore, tell Dad!" Wang Zhong rubbed his daughter's little head: "Dad will teach you how to use a gun by the way."

"I can move!" Maimai's eyes became brighter, looking at Wang Zhong's well-maintained [-] lid with great interest.

In addition to the bow and arrows he usually used, Wang Zhong also had a large [-]-gun on his back. The gun belonged to the brigade and was equipped for the militiamen. Busy charging and chasing down the enemy, Wang Zhong took the opportunity to collect bullets, and there are still hundreds of bullets lying in the space.
